Bande

I specialise in conscious, non-gendered and size inclusive design. Growing up on the south coast, my inspiration comes from seaside cultures and natural ways of life. My main focus is to extend the life cycle of clothing, from fabric sourcing and design, to extended wear, as well as designs with the environmental impact at the forefront, whilst also focusing on flattering, timeless, comfortable pieces. My design aesthetic is much like my own style, concentrating on oversized slouchy silhouettes, suitable for everyday life, as well as layered pieces, to suit an ever changing lifestyle within a capsule wardrobe. Making sustainable fashion accessible for all whilst retaining a contemporary aesthetic is important to me as a designer, as well as a focus on design details like the intricate binding seen throughout the collection. My work always starts with developing strong colour and fabric concepts, that I believe is one of my many strengths.
